New build mastic in London Colney
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so the joint is cut out, cleaned, dried and resealed. Common call-outs are for new-build shower sealant that has already split and smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging, on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near London Colney, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
- Cracking that points to a structural problem
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home. A visit to London Colney is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- Finally, each room is checked and you’re given the cure time.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Why act early in London Colney
Small cosmetic gaps can wait for the house to settle, but a leaking seal cannot. Not sure whether yours can wait? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few pictures and we will tell you. In a smaller place like London Colney, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Landlord and commercial work in London Colney
For anyone letting property in or around London Colney, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
- Avoid running a DIY bead over the old one
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Wipe joints with warm soapy water
Watch the joints as the house settles. Small gaps can appear as the house dries.
If a shower tray or bath seal splits in the first year, look for movement. Have it resealed, and the tray or bath checked, before it gets worse.
